Hey guys, happy Easter. Can anyone point me in the right direction of removing the ignition lock assembly? To clarify, I don't want the barrel out, I'd like to remove the entire unit in order to get to the business end of the ignition switch. I have the lower cover off of the steering column, but I don't see an obvious method to going about this. Thanks.

If you wanting the block out, pull off the lower panel and on the left hand side you will see two small flat head screws. remove them to remove the switch block. the screws may have the heads painted head.
